Nikon Coolpix AW110 and S31 ruggedized cams see some action at CP+ (hands-on video)

No drop to the floor, counter crush or attendee sneeze is too much for these ruggedized Nikons, however. The Coolpix AW110 and S31 were both designed with wild lifestyles in mind, with waterproof and shockproof housings offering protection on land and under the sea. Our test location this week was limited to a display counter positioned front and center at Nikon's CP+ booth in Yokohama, so we can't speak to durability, but both offerings look convincing enough.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">With a sticker price of $350, the AW110 is certainly the higher-end of the two. We were particularly taken with the 3-inch OLED display, which looked fantastic -- it's perhaps the sharpest screen we've seen on any ruggedized model. The 5x internal zoom lens wasn't speedier than we expected, but it'll get the job done. The S31, however, looks very much like a child's plaything. And, considering the $120 MSRP (for a ruggedized camera, no less), it seems to be priced as such. We'll let you make that call for yourself, however -- take a closer look at both point-and-shoots after the break.</div></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="349" id="viddler-c6a721e9" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="//www.viddler.com/embed/c6a721e9/?f=1&offset=0&autoplay=0&secret=11512797&disablebranding=0&view_secret=11512797" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="545"></iframe></div>
